Over It (conceived as a pop-dance sort of song)

VERSE 1

I tell you I love you

You know, you know I do

You don't feel that way,

I, I tell you that's okay

I say that I'll be fine,

You're out of sight, you're out of mind.

Do not, do not, oh, God, do not apologize,

You've just gone and healed for me my blinded eyes. 

(faster)

All this time I could've moved on,

If you'd told me that I was wrong.

Instead you chose to lead me on,

But this night is over and we're breaking dawn. 

CHORUS

One day, one day, one day,

You'll see me again somehow, some way.

And in time, in time, in time,

You will wish you were still mine.

You told me I'd be better off if I just quit,

So tell you what, you got your wish, and I am over it. 

VERSE 2

One year, eight months, three days,

How did I love you? Let me count the ways.

I was faithful, I was true,

You know I'd never lie to you.

You betrayed me countless times,

I forgave you, don't know why.

We were perfect, things were great,

You're not a fan of the happy state.

I'd let you wander, I'd let you cheat,

All because you said you loved me.

But I called your bluff, and now it's through,

So how about this?, I'm over you. 

CHORUS

One day, one day, one day,

You'll see me again somehow, some way.

And in time, in time, in time,

You will wish you were still mine.

You told me I'd be better off if I just quit,

So tell you what, you got your wish, and I am over it. 

BRIDGE

Your number's up, so exit please,

You're taking up space I will need.

Our fire is no longer lit,

You made your bed so lay in it. 

CHORUS

One day, one day, one day,

You'll see me again somehow, some way.

And in time, in time, in time,

You will wish you were still mine.

You told me I'd be better off if I just quit,

So tell you what, you got your wish, and I am over it.
